This bass is a beauty. However, I think Pierreyves is understating things when he states that he found this bass. Given all he now has in his collection, my personal theory is that just before the most beautiful basses that are headed for Europe leave Santa Rosa, someone slips a homing chip in to them so that, like Salmon, where ever they end up they all eventually migrate to the collection of Pierreyves.

Yes - this has a subtle burst finish. The burst is on the front of the body, back of the body, along the edges of the neck (you can see a dark stripe across the heel) as well as the front and back of the peghead.

As usual, Pierreyves, exquisite taste in axes. As for most of the coolest Alembics in Europe, I'd bet this was originally from Station Music. I don't know who orders their axes, but they always have the coolest, 'why didn't I think of that' Alembics.

I have one in the same wood and finish as this bass and mine had previously been on sale at station music for about a year before the seller withdrew it and I bought it from him directly which was a considerable saving. In fact the bass pierreyves has now was on sale at the same time and he spoke to the seller on my behalf as they had a common language. In the end I chose the one I have now and it's great that pierreyves has this bass. It's in good hands. Jazzyvee
